Baha'i World Centre

The Bahá’í World Centre, "the spiritual and administrative heart of the Bahá’í community, is located in the twin cities of ‘Akká and Haifa in northern Israel."

"The administrative center of the Baha'i Faith is in Haifa. Located on Mount Carmel, just above the Shrine of the Báb and at the top of an arc-shaped path in a monument garden, is the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Bahá'í Faith. From this building and others nearby, a staff of more than 600 people from 60 countries administers the international affairs of the Bahá'í world community."

The building complex took some ten years to complete at a reported cost of US$250 million - "paid for entirely by contributions from members of the Baha'i faith".
